CONTINUATION PAGE

1. Statement of work refers to 3rd edition safety device testing manual, however, the current revision is the 8th edition published Feb. 2024. Will contractor be required to bring plant into compliance with the 8th edition?

Yes, contractor will be required to bring the boilers and supporting instrumentation into compliance with the most current edition. SOW has been revised to reflect 8th Edition.

2. During walk-thru, it was noted that boilers 1 thru 4 control systems were Preferred Utilities instruments and controls and not the Honeywell UDC and HC900 controls. Will the statement of work be revised to reflect installed controls?

Brand name Honeywell will be removed from SOW and replaced with Preferred Utilities.

3. Are there current control panel wiring drawings that can be reviewed in order to identify any missing/non existent safety devices that may be required per the current 8th edition?

Current control panel wiring drawings are unknown at this time. If there are drawings, they would be 3rd edition compliant and may be provided to the winning bidder upon request if available.

4. Will the most recent safety device testing report be made available for review?

Yes, the report may be provided to the winning bidder upon request. Additionally, a separate boiler life expectancy contract is being awarded shortly. Any findings from the inspection will be shared.

5. Will the contractor be responsible for correcting the current deficiencies in the base year?

Vendor will conduct an initial visual inspection of boilers and supporting components upon initiation of the contract. Vendor will provide a list to the contract COR of deficiencies with notes on priority of repair (ex. critical, high, medium, low). Dependent on the scale of required repairs a separate contract may be competed to fix deficiencies.

If any failure to the boiler system occurs during the period of performance in which a backup is not available or a deficiency is noted during the initial visual inspection to be of such an extreme nature it will be considered an emergency and all parts and labor will be billed under that line item, 0009, 1009, 2009, 3009, or 4009 (dependent on option year period of performance if executed). Prior authorization for any emergency repair from the COR must be received prior to any work being performed or repair part ordered.

6. Safety relief valves on all boilers were noted to be cast iron, which is no longer allowed per design alert 151. Will the contractor be required in the contract to supply cast/forged steel safety relief valves properly sized to bring plant into compliance?

No, replacement valve parts are on site and Energy Center staff will install these safety valves.

7. Low pressure boiler #5 located in building 222, was noted as not having all the safety devices as required per the 8th edition, including the purge air proving switch, fd fan motor current switches, burner lockout annunciator, etc… Will these missing items be required to be supplied and installed?

Vendor will conduct an initial visual inspection of boilers and supporting components upon initiation of the contract. Vendor will provide a list to the contract COR of deficiencies with notes on priority of repair (ex. critical, high, medium, low). Dependent on the scale of required repairs a separate contract may be competed to fix deficiencies.

If any failure to the boiler system occurs during the period of performance in which a backup is not available or a deficiency is noted during the initial visual inspection to be of such an extreme nature it will be considered an emergency and all parts and labor will be billed under that line item, 0009, 1009, 2009, 3009, or 4009 (dependent on option year period of performance if executed). Prior authorization for any emergency repair from the COR must be received prior to any work being performed or repair part ordered.

8. It was noted that the low pressure boiler in building 222, only had two low water cutoff floats. Per 8th edition safety device testing manual, and the VA master TIL, a primary and Aux. low water cutoffs are to be different technologies. Will the contractor be required to convert the auxiliary low water cutoff on this boiler to a broke type, and add the high and low water alarms as required by the TIL, and testing manual?

No, Energy Center staff will be responsible for updating this item.

9. Will Safety devices not currently plumbed properly with lock open only valves and test ports, be required to be re-plumbed by contractor during the base year?

Vendor will conduct an initial visual inspection of boilers and supporting components upon initiation of the contract. Vendor will provide a list to the contract COR of deficiencies with notes on priority of repair (ex. critical, high, medium, low). Dependent on the scale of required repairs a separate contract may be competed to fix deficiencies.

If any failure to the boiler system occurs during the period of performance in which a backup is not available or a deficiency is noted during the initial visual inspection to be of such an extreme nature it will be considered an emergency and all parts and labor will be billed under that line item, 0009, 1009, 2009, 3009, or 4009 (dependent on option year period of performance if executed). Prior authorization for any emergency repair from the COR must be received prior to any work being performed or repair part ordered.

10. Directive 1810 requires all boilers to be manually started, no auto start or remote start are allowed. Boiler #5 in building 222 is currently cycling on/off automatically. Will the contractor be required to bring this boiler into compliance with directive 1810, and what provisions have been considered for safe operation after update?

Vendor will conduct an initial visual inspection of boilers and supporting components upon initiation of the contract. Vendor will provide a list to the contract COR of deficiencies with notes on priority of repair (ex. critical, high, medium, low). Dependent on the scale of required repairs a separate contract may be competed to fix deficiencies.

If any failure to the boiler system occurs during the period of performance in which a backup is not available or a deficiency is noted during the initial visual inspection to be of such an extreme nature it will be considered an emergency and all parts and labor will be billed under that line item, 0009, 1009, 2009, 3009, or 4009 (dependent on option year period of performance if executed). Prior authorization for any emergency repair from the COR must be received prior to any work being performed or repair part ordered.

11. Vibration analysis in statement of work specifies seven pumps. During walk thru we noted 3 condensate trans for pumps and 4 boiler feedwater pumps in building 69. Will the statement of work be revised to include pumps in building 222?

SOW and solicitation has been updated to reflect vibration analysis on eight pumps annually. Seven pumps in building 69 and one pump in building 222. Vendors shall provide bids based on these current numbers. If additional pumps are identified or removed during the life of the contract a modification to the contract will be executed through a supplemental agreement by both parties.

12. The VA standard requires non-destructive testing of the deaerator tank every 6 years.

When was the last NDT performed, and in what option year should it be addressed during this contract?

It is unknown at this time when the last NDT was performed. Currently the deaerator tank will be inspected this under a separate boiler life expectancy contract. Therefore an additional non-destructive test will need to be performed under this maintenance and annual/semi-annual inspection contract. If another NDT is required during the life of the contract a modification to the contract may be executed through a supplemental agreement by both parties.

13. In the RFQ price/cost schedule there are line items on the inspection of Boilers, Condensate Tank, Deaerator, and Boiler Stack. Reviewing the statement of work I am not seeing these three items listed clearly/separately. Am I missing something?

Added to SOW for clarification under paragraph F.

14. Can you provide more information on the seven pumps that are required for vibration analysis?

Eight pumps have been identified and vibration analysis need to be performed on the pump assembly (motor and pump). Specific make and model of the pumps are unknown.

15. What have been some of the major concerns, repairs done in the past?

Welding on the refractory in one of the boilers. Further repair information can be provided to the winning bidder upon request.

16. Would another site visit be possible?

Yes, the Energy Center is open 7 days a week. Any subsequent site visits must be performed prior to when bids are due for the solicitation. Please call 612-467- 4625 to schedule a date and time.
